3 Reasons to Hire a Virtual Assistant
Reduce costs
Hiring a virtual assistant is cost-effective. As contractors, they do not require much overhead or benefits. There is no need to spend money on providing them with an office or looking into health insurance and retirement plans. According to Data Source, a virtual assistant can save up to 78% over a full-time employee in operating costs per year.
Increase efficiency
With the number of virtual assistants growing, it is normal to come across assistants with a wide range of experience. Once hired, you’ll be able to offload all sorts of tasks to them. Some examples include digital marketing, database entry, online research, and managing your email.
Free up time for big picture items
